What happens when world-class solar scientists meet a cozy bar in Bern?
ISSI teamed up with Astronomy on Tap Bern for an unforgettable evening with 3 amazing talks, a full house, and even a debate on whether the heliosphere is shaped like a croissant 🥐, or not.

During the last 30 years, our telescopes improved and became more. We discover more of what lies beyond our sky.
Exoplanets, planets outside our solar system, might host life or tell us more about our own planet.
Here are 4999 of them perfectly to scale. 😮💨
